for the offices they seek ?"1111101 with
dcflnlteuesH ho stated; but thoy were
the "big noises." or at least they pro
duced most of the noise in the way
of hand-clapping and cheering. Fach
of these was listened to with marked
attention, broad smiles, overspread*
Ing the faces of apparently Interested
listeners, and a look of expectancy
plainly written on their countenances.
L'unslcr Provokes Laughter.
The assault 1??' Cansler, for railroad
commissioner, upon his opponents,
Whoili he terms as "kids," ami one of
whom he addressed as "Huddle," pro
voked much laughter, and when Can
sler and his little black cap advanced
to the speakers' stand loud cheers
echoed in every corridor of the Opera
house.
II. It. Evans was even more vigorous
in his denunciation of Lyon ami his
administration today than heretofore.'
harping especially on the fact, as con
tained in this morning's news dis-'
patches, that the trial of the alleged
"graft" cases in Chester liexl week
hail been postponed, The speaker I
preached a sermon today, taking as j
his text Daniel. R:S5; III which are

sin"' weighed in (ho balance, and
found wanting."
Mr. Evans received more npplauso I
today than he lias received at any
previous meeting.
Ladles in Vudieiice.
Doubtless the chief feature of th.0
meeting in Chester was the presence
oi more ladles than have attended all
the previous meetings combined, An-:
other characteristic was the liberal
applause accorded every candidate;
they were all cheered as announced
and the people were in no instances
parsimonious with evidence of ap
pro* al.
Mr. Fealhorntono received Iiis third
b0U(| let today.
Cansler started a gubernatorial
boom for Senator I'. 1,. Uni'dlll, of
?'bester, today and gave it his endorse

of the morning. II.- made his usual
attack upon the Incumbent, repeating
his former charges ami denying that
be bad said the treasurer of the State
band paid Tow Fehler $100,000 in f.-es:
be had said that be was paid this
amount out of the tax-payers' pock
ets. no matter from what exact source.

Mr. Evans declared that in a certain
Important case, he had defeated the

In Bad Fix
"I had a mishap at the age of 41, which left me in bad
fix," writes Mrs. Georgia Usher, of Conyers, Ga.
"I was unconscious for three days, and after that I
would have fainting spells, dizziness, nervousness, sick
headache, heart palpitation and many strange feelings.
"I suffered greatly with ailments due to the change of
life and had 3 doctors, but they did no good, so I concluded
to try^ Cardui.
'Since taking Cardui, I am so much better and can do
all my housework."
mCARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
Do not allow yourself to get into a bad fix. You might
get in so bad you would find it hard to get out.
Better take Cardui while there is time, while you are
still in moderately good health, just to conserve your strength
and keep you in tip top condition.
In this way your troubles, whatever they are, will grad
ually grow smaller instead of larger?you will be on the
up-grade instead of the down- and by and bye you will
arrive at the north pole of perfect health.

elusion.
No Apologies.
Mr. l'eatherstone had spoken twice
in Chester, once during the campaign
m' 1808 and again two years ago. when
ihe county voted out liquor, he had
no apologies to make for discussing
the issue today, which he did in ills
usual forceful manner. In refering
to State-wide prohibition, Mr. I'eather
stone said: "I want Charleston and
Itlchlnild to take their dose along with
the rest Of thom."
In referring to the lax question, the
speaker stated his belief that the in
crease in values from year to year
should provide for the increased costs
of the government; that no increase
of levy should be necessary.
"Onlj Thoroughbred."
Mr. Hyatt again stated that he was
the "only thoroughbred" prohibition
ist in the race. He made love to the
farmers in fine style and told them
how he had struggled from those days
of poverty on the farm, when, to the
obtain an education, he had studied
by the light of pinowood knots after
a day of toil, how he was trying to
help every farmer in the Stale to rock
ing chair existence, lie warned the
people against the tendency toward
extravagance, which pervaded not on
ly Individual but public life, in the
affairs of government.
He promises, if elected to the gov
ernorship, to inspect all the offices,
and all Slate officers and see that bus

Hyatt was well received.

and had done his share of work in be
half of the dear fanners, lie wants
to see the growth of the educational
facilities of lb'1 Stale, the continu
ance of prosperity, and the better
ment of tax conditions. He was cheer
ed when he announced his doctrine
of local option as to the liquor ques
tion. Mr. Mc l.eod spoke fluently to
day, diiving home his arguments in
forceful manner.

Capl. .lohn (1. Itlchnrds said he was
not going to insult the Intelligence of
the people of South Carolina by devot
ing nil his time to discussing whiskey,
the people are tired of it. Ho was very
much amused at Hyatt's claims as a
farmer. "Yes." said Mr. Richards.
"Ho rides to ids farm every morning
In an elevator to the fourth or fifth
story of the skyscraper, in Columbia."
The speaker said there were five law
yers in the race, one insurance man.
and one farmer, the last being himself.
Ho hooted at Hyatt's Claim on raising
the price of cotton, declaring the.

sociation did it. ('apt. Richards today'

Mayor ii ease varies bis speeches
more than do any of the other candi
dates. Tom lung the same themes, be
nevertheless serves up his arguments
in varying styles. He again attacked
those persons in South Carolina who)
were endeavoring to disfranchise
thousands of white voters by the pro
posed changes In the primary, declar
ing it to be an effort to get back to
the old way before the primary had
been Introduced, when a few men
ran the government. Mr. Biease
boasted that he "had never got beat
for any office in his home county;
more than some of bis opponents
could say." He predicts that the next
governor will bo a Nowborrlan, He
tombed on tho whiskey question, de
claring for local option, saying thai
"if the people of ehester want pro
hibition (and if they believe they have
ii.i let them have it." If" read from
today's news dispatches of raids on
illicit distilleries and the opinion ot

It Is an Internal Disease and Requires
tin Internal Remedy.
The cause of Rheumatism ami kin
dred diseases is an excess of uric
acid in the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must he expelled and

will not cure, affords only temporary
relief at best, causes you to delay this
proper treatment, allows the malady1
to get a firmer hold on you. Liniments
may ease the pain, but they will no
more cure Rheumatism than paint
